Mike Greene commented on Jim Meier's blog post Attention Span of Your Players: Is There a Problem or Not?"Coach, you have hit the nail on the head with this question. I have adjusted practices accordingly with a lot more short drill periods rather than longer sessions. The attention span just isn't there anymore. I don't think it is ADD or…"
